ARSENAL are already sure of progress in the UEFA Europa League but a point away to PSV Eindhoven would be enough to nail down top spot in Group A and secure passage to the last 16.
Four successive wins in the section have fired the Gunners to the summit, with a 1-0 triumph over the Dutch side in London last week opening up a five-point gap.
Even if Mikel Arteta's men lose in Eindhoven they still have the safety net of a home game against whipping boys Zurich to finish the job so it will be interesting to see how they treat this game.
A run of eight straight wins in all competitions ended on Sunday as a 1-1 draw at Southampton saw Arsenal's lead in the Premier League cut to just two points on a disappointing day for our man Slips Tips.
Arteta's team is starting to look a bit leggy so I wouldn't be surprised if the manager give a few of his stars a breather ahead of their weekend league clash with Nottingham Forest.
This game matters more to PSV Eindhoven as they only lead Bodo/Glimt by three points in the group and face a trip to Norway for the final match in the section.
I fancied Ruud van Nistelrooy's men to cause Arsenal some problems in London but instead they drew a blank for just the second time in 12 games.
PSV then followed it up by crashing 4-2 to Groningen in the Eredivisie so van Nistelrooy will be under pressure to deliver a big result when the Gunners come calling.
How the bookies view it
Arsenal's impressive form makes them 13/9 favourites with SBK while PSV Eindhoven's best price is 31/16 with VBet and the draw pays 47/17 with the same firm.
Head to head
This is the eighth meeting of these sides in Europe and Arsenal hold the edge with three victories to one. The other three matches have ended in draws, including a 1-1 Emirates stalemate when these sides last faced off in the Champions League back in 2007. That sealed a 2-1 aggregate triumph for the Dutch side after a 1-0 victory in Eindhoven.
Players to watch
Copy Gapko let me down last week but he remains the biggest threat to Arsenal's defence. The in-demand winger is 11/5 with Unibet for anytime scorer which looks decent value.
It's hard to predict who will start for Arsenal but Eddie Nketiah has been a regular for Europa League matches and has netted twice in the group already. He's 21/10 at Unibet to net in the Netherlands.
Anything else catch the eye?
Going for goals backfired for me last week but three of the last four PSV games have seen five strikes or more. The Dutch side will be going for a win so I like over 3.5 goals at 17/10 with BetVictor while over 1.5 first-half goals pays 31/20 with Coral.
It was a close game in London and the return should be similar, with McBookie pricing a one-goal winning margin for either side at 13/10.
Ibrahim Sangare will be at the heart of the midfield battle and that makes him a good candidate for a card. But I've yet to see any card market for PSV players, with Unibet only offering odds on Gunners stars just now.
With the Dutch side needing to win, they should force the initiative and that makes PSV +2 in the corner handicap a good option at 21/20 with Bet365.
